Eliminating hunger in America is doable, because we have the resources to do it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Our nation's anti-hunger programs need to be strengthened.
Hunger is a political issue, and there are several things politically that are keeping people hungry - not funding food stamps adequately, not funding school lunches adequately. So there is a political solution to the problem of hunger.
The use of hunger as a weapon of political control is a crime against humanity.
An important lever for sustained action in tackling poverty and reducing hunger is money.
We have ended hunger, but now we have to end famine.
Poverty is a very complicated issue, but feeding a child isn't.
To affordably feed the next billion people, we must have higher-yielding crops with even greater nutritional value. America should be at the vanguard of the innovative advances that will make this happen.
Poverty is unnecessary.
The United States cannot feed every person, lift every person out of poverty, cure every disease, or stop every conflict. But our power and status have conferred upon us a tremendous responsibility to humanity.
Hunger in America is an American problem. The hunger of one should be the concern of all. Especially the hunger of children - our children.
